'I didn’t know what I was going to write when I sat down to write Amulet, my first feature film, to be released next week. This script is the first and only time I’ve ever done anything that was a version of free-writing'
One other thing I did know going in was I didn’t want to write a film where we saw a woman imperiled and afraid. The audience gurning with every scream and thrilled by her fear; a delight in seeing women made powerless by men’s violence dressed up as art. I see enough of that voyeurism on screen already. So that meant a male protagonist, but not some kind of ‘othered’ man; a freak, an outsider – the audience constantly reassured. But an ordinary man, a man who believes he is a good man.
